Neptune made an appearance on top deck today as we crossed the equator. All the pollywogs (people who have not crossed the equator) had to make themselves known. They then toss a bucket of god knows what all over you (it looked like paint and chunks of chocolate cake). Nana and I fell asleep in our cabin and missed Neptune, but we made it up to see all the mess they made of the people. They didn't get tossed in the pool afterward, instead they had buckets of pool water thrown over them to clean them up. Good thing I missed that one, I was wearing all white today. Traditionally you are meant to report those who don't show up, but Nana knows what is good for her, lol.
I asked Helda about her children last night. She told me that her youngest sons name is Garfield. She then continued to tell us that her son hates his name and that she is so sorry about it. How was she to know that a few years after he was born that there would be a fat, lazy, lasagne eating cat with the same name. Ah we had a good laugh.
Their is a water leak right outside our cabin door. It is dripping into a bucket from a light fitting. Of all the cabins on this vessel it has to be outside our room.
We had the best dessert so far tonight. It was a caramelised rice creme brûlée with a scoop of lime sorbet. Best creme brûlée I have ever had.
Tomorrow we arrive in Singapore. It will be strange leaving the ship for the first time after I have established a routine.
I am sitting out on deck 7 whilst writing this, here is a picture of my view.
